I love this ingenious and relevant reading of Theseus and Ariadne's story. I love Mary Oliver's treatment of the story in "The Return" (https://thesewaneereview.com/articles/the-return) *except* that her beautiful poem does not do justice to Ariadne. I appreciate that you keep the story going to Theseus' abominable choice to ditch her.

I love Mary Oliver so much. Just you mentioning her makes me reach for one of her books.
If you find her doing justice to jilted Ariadne, tip me off to the poem. Darned Theseus!
Interesting essay. Enjoyed it thank you!
Thanks so much!
